Former President Donald Trump is still the clear favorite to win the election, but Vice President Kamala Harris’ chances have improved over the past two days.
On Wednesday, Harris was the biggest outsider she has been since entering the presidential race in July. Trump jumped to -210 favorite at BetOnline and Harris was at +180.
On Friday, Trump fell to -173 while Harris moved to +148 (meaning bettors have to bet $173 to win Trump’s $100 to win the election or $100 to win Harris’ $148 to prevail ).
BetOnline, an offshore sportsbook not regulated in the US, reported that the odds had changed as Harris had been solidly paid at 4-to-1 over the past two days.
The book lowered Trump from -190 to -180 on Thursday, then pulled the price back to -185 after recording a $41,914 bet on Trump.
But a flurry of bets from Harris, including a $35,000 bet at +165 and a $20,000 bet at +160, caused the line to move again.
“Kamala continues to gain some momentum,” BetOnline.ag brand manager Dave Mason said Friday on X (@DaveMasonBOL).
The line also fell at BetMGM, which only bets on the election at its Ontario, Canada sportsbook.
BetMGM analyst John Ewing posted on X (@johnewing) that Trump is the -225 favorite and Harris the +175 underdog on Wednesday. The line fell at MGM to -190/+150 on Thursday and fell again on Friday to -185/+140.
The numbers have also moved to selectionbettingodds.com, which averages live odds from FTX.com, Betfair.com, PredictIt.org, Smarkets.com and Polymarket.com.
Trump’s odds fell on the site from 61.2 percent, or -158, on Monday to 56.5 percent, or -130, on Friday. Harris’ odds improved from 38.3 percent, or +161, on Monday to 43.0 percent, or +133, on Friday.
Trump still strong in Nevada
Trump is still the site’s clear favorite to win Nevada.
In fact, his odds have improved from 63.5 percent, or -174, on Monday to 66.0 percent, or -194, on Friday to win the state, which has gone to a Democrat in the last four elections. Harris’ odds dropped from 35.5 percent, or +182, on Monday to 34.0 percent, or +194, on Friday.
